awdiophil User Info... | Despite the highly pretentious genre title (what the hell is ambient alternative electronic rock anyway), im interested in seeing what kind of musicians there are in vic with similar interests. This isn't neccessarily a post in order to find musicians for a band (im hoping it could lead to that though). Im more interested in seeing what kind of room there is in Victoria for this kind of music, and im sure you're wondering by now what I mean by "this kind of music"... I'd love to explore the sounds of bands like... Bloc Party, Klaxons, Spoon, Black Ghosts, Justice, Arcade Fire, Coldplay, Hadouken!, K-Os, LCD Soundsystem, MSTRKRFT, Daft Punk, Muse, Phoenix, Ratatat, Rilo Kiley, SebastiAn, The Shins, The Streets, The View, The Thermals, The Fratellis, TV On the Radio, The White Stripers, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Xavier Rudd, Just to name a few. If your familiar with DJ Longshanks (resident at Lucky), you'll be familiar with the overall sound im interested in. peace&love -P - Mon, 9 Apr 2007 11:58am | ||
tiri User Info... | this sounds like you have some taste! I would very interested to perhaps talk with you over this kind of music. I am certainly interested in that music! especially ambient eloctronic , alternative! its much better than alot of boring stuff these days. Call me a snob, but I like creativity , not a bunch of people making horrible noise. I will email you, I'd be interested, i am a singer and keyoardist with some experience with Mac Garage Band. cheers, Tiri - Mon, 9 Apr 2007 1:52pm | ||
darcy User Info... | Couldn't you have just put Brian Eno, Joy Division, and the Talking Heads and have had the same list? haha, anywho, right now I'm really down with doing very minimalistic ambient works. Very much like the stuff in horror movies; like The Climax Gold Twin's album for Session 9. - Mon, 9 Apr 2007 2:44pm | ||
fine bottle of wine User Info... | from teh sounds of it, a band like that would go over great, and if you're looking for someone to do some ambient crazy cool guitar stuff, hit me up with an email. [email protected] - Mon, 9 Apr 2007 5:07pm | ||
Aidan Logins User Info... | More bands like this would be great for Victoria. Not that I'd want to be in them. But they would be nice to have. - Tue, 10 Apr 2007 2:27pm | ||
brandon User Info... | I play a lot of keyboards and use Reason a lot. I'd be interested in collaborating possibly. - Tue, 10 Apr 2007 8:30pm | ||
The Box Drone User Info... | I'm pretty sure I've used the exact words "Ambient Alternative Electronic Rock" to describe my band before... http://www.myspace.com/thequailmusic The stuff on the myspace are our more poppy songs, but we do alot of crazy all melodic soundscapes too, and some heavier things as well. You might like some of my solo stuff too, though it's pretty all over the place. http://www.myspace.com/escapefromwherever - if you only listen to one, make it Analog1. - Wed, 11 Apr 2007 10:26pm | ||

Michael User Info... | I am moving back to Victoria in May, seeking to form a band/collective or join an existing project. Looking for someone to cut and paste multiple percussion styles in a live setting (and to record also) as well as a keyboardist. I am a mid-30's vocalist/songwriter, and have a guitarist who will be in Victoria periodically. Darker but soulful heavy electronica-influenced sound, lush harmonies (some acapella) so singing ability is a plus. Influences: TV On the Radio, Interpol, Massive Attack, Tricky, Chemical Brothers, Dandy Warhols, Cure, Joy Division, old Spirituals/Gospel, 50's Doo-wop, PJ Harvey, Cocteau Twins, Dead Can Dance, Fado, Spiritualized, Gregorian Chant, Middle Eastern music of all sorts. You can hear some of my songs (demos, with looped drum samples and midi instruments, so a little sterile but nice when re-recorded) at http://www.myspace.com/amortals - Thu, 19 Apr 2007 9:11am | ||

Mitch User Info... | If you still need a drummer, I might be interested. I tend to play more on the heavier techincal side("fuller" beats, for lack of a better term). I used to play in a pop-punk band, but I've been drumming for about 7-8 years. - Thu, 19 Apr 2007 11:31pm Edited: Thu, 19 Apr 2007 11:31pm | ||
Michael User Info... | Hey Steve, Awdiophil, Tiri, Fine Bit O' Wine, anyone else interested, Have you guys connected?
